Trump And The Labor Movement - How The New Administration ‘Might Target’ Workers

Teen Vogue’s No Class is an Op-Ed Column by Philadelphia-based Journalist and Radical Organizer Kim Kelly that connects Worker struggles and the current state of the American Labor Movement with its storied - and sometimes bloodied - past.  Kelly’s latest offering focuses in on the incoming Trump Administration and how it might target Workers.  Here’s a sampling: I’ll be blunt: None of us know what the hell is going to happen over the next few months, let alone the next four years.  The shocking re-election of former President Donald Trump has unleashed a fresh wave of chaos upon our already profoundly broken country - and it’s anyone’s guess what he’s going to do from one moment to the next.  One of the few certainties we can expect is that life will soon become more painful for great swaths of the populace - Immigrants, Trans People, Queer People, Muslim people, Librarians and Teachers, people impacted by poverty or homelessness, anyone who desires the freedom to control their own body, the list goes on.  And despite Trump and his Party’s insistence that they care about the American Working Class, guess which other group is due to land directly in their crosshairs?  Workers.
